[SRP] Memories Sign-up (Closed)

[Jacqueline]

In a modern day world, a handful of people go about their everyday lives. Until...


There you have it, the premise of this RP. I believe I have an original and intriguing story to tell - but to not spoil the surprise I cannot go into too much detail.
Note that any physical TF will be quick, as the main focus is on mental changes. However, this story has a slightly different take on them...

[Gee-chan]

Well, seeing as I am trying to get back into RPing some more, I think I'll give this one a try.

Name: Edward Poulson
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Personality: Depending on mood can vary between downright cynical, unfriendly and even a bit cruel to silly, friendly and helpful.
Description: A tall and skinny youth that looks like he doesn't get enough to eat (despite being a bit of a glutton). His hair is dark brown and nearly reaches his shoulders but has the tell-tale signs of not being looked after enough. His eyes, for the most part, seem to be green but closer examination reveal a slightly unusual mix of blue, green and a sort of dark orange near the middle.
Brief history: By nature, Edward is a good kid but has been hardened by many years of bullying which has left a permanent mark which emerges when he is in less favourable moods (namely the cruel and cynical aspects). When meeting people he is usually slow off the mark and is rarely the one who starts conversation. Initially tends to be distrustful of people he does not know but slowly warms to them as he feels he can trust them more.
Has the unfortunate habit of bottling things up and instead hiding behind a wall of either coldness or silliness despite how much he may be hurt within, but will occasionally break down into either tears or anger, releasing it all, often over something unrelated.
As far as lifestyle goes, he does not really do much other than stay in his room other than when he has to go out for school. In his free time he tends to vanish into the internet, almost as though he is trying to escape the world. If ever called up on this however, he uses the fact that he lives in a small village as an excuse, never revealing why he shuts out the world.
TF notes: If looking at mental changes, other than sudden personality replacements (I see that as almost akin to killing the person off), I hate being subjected to stereotypes, 'bimbo' style ones in particular.


Hope to have some fun!

[Mystic Mina]

You have me intrigued. Very well, I shall create a profile. I wish to see how this tale will end.....

Name: Bastion Laraham, but the few friends he has simply call him "Bast."
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Personality: Bastion used to be a bright, optimistic individual, but fate has left him broken, bitter, and cold. Unable to face the world that has dealt him his terrible hand, he has holed himself away in his small, cramped apartment to live a meager existence. The only way he's been able to keep himself under a roof and fed is through donations from his friends and family, but this only serves to make him feel even worse about himself. Is he really so pathetic as to accept the scraps of those who feel sorry for him?
Brief history: Where did it all go wrong for Bastion? Was it when he came up with that stupid idea of being a writer of fantasy fiction? Maybe it was when he became so driven to finish his first book that he was kicked out of college for poor academic performance? Could it have been when he sunk all of his life savings into publishing this book only to have it flop both commercially and critically? Perhaps it was when he tried to kill himself by slitting his wrists open with a butcher knife, only to be stopped at the last second and tossed into a mental asylum?

No, it must have been when he was finally released from his prison after three years, only to realize that he just scuttled all the chances he had at having a happy life. With his lack of job expertise, history of mental illness, and financial difficulties, Bastion had almost guaranteed himself a future filled with pain, misery, and regret. And it was all for the sake of some idiotic dream....

TF notes: I only ask that you do not turn my character into anything inanimate such as a chair or a statue. I find such a fate to be rather cruel.

[Harri-chan]

Name: Jessica
Age: 20
Gender: Female

Personality: Jessica isn't a horrible person, but she can be a bitch now and then. With her long, platinum blonde hair, her short, curvy figure and big blue eyes, she's attractive and she knows it. She -always- gets what she wants, either from boys that are falling over eachother to impress her, or from her millionaire father that throws money at her to make up for putting his business ahead of her. She's obsessed with shopping, especially for clothes.

Brief history: She's never had to work for a thing in her life. The only child of a wealthy business man and his glamour model wife, she was blessed with her Mother's good looks and her father's money. Although he was never really around much, and she was clueless when it came to looking after children. There were nannies and maids to raise her, but that just meant she could get away with whatever she wanted, as if they tried to show her any discipline, she'd go crying to her parents and the staff would be replaced.

She's currently at college studying fashion, although she'll never need a job, so lacks the real motivation to work hard and get her degree, but Daddy's money will probably ensure she walks away with the highest honours at the end of it.



TF notes: anything you absolutely hate, put it here: I dislike age progression, breast enlargement or other ways of being made more 'sexy', don't want to be turned into a boy....

[Jacqueline]

Good entries, all. Thanks for joining. RP will start sometime this week. Sign-ups remain open for the foreseeable future, also after game start.

[Blaze]

Sounds like a good idea.

Name: Zeke Mercer

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Personality: Zeke is the epitome of brash aggression. He loves to fight anyone for whatever reason even if it's someone clearly bigger then him. He doesn't speak, he growls or yells and has a sort of raw charisma that makes you either want to follow him or cower from him.

Brief history: When he was young, he was kicked from school to school for fighting. His parents tried their best to help him, but no amount of councilling or scolding could stop him from fighting. Thankfully he never used knives and always stopped when his opponent is unable to defend themselves. He got kicked out of every high school in the area and his parents kicked him out. However, he made quite a few friends over the years and one of them gave him an abandoned clubhouse that he lives in. He now is the leader of a small gang that commits petty crimes and throws parties that go on for days at a time.

TF notes: No total mental rewrites please.

[Shadowmaster]

Hmm, been a while since I was involved with an RP I'm not running.

Name: Nick Simms

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Personality: Easy going and friendly to everyone, unless they do something completely horrible to him. He makes friends rather easily, and can roll with most situations with relative ease. It's rare to see him in a foul mood.

Brief history: Nick came from a rather normal upper middle class household. Both his parents worked, his father owning his own music store and his mother being a nurse. Both of his parents taught him to be kind and friendly to everyone. All through his school career, he had a large number of friends, which led to him having a rather easy time when entering high school. Not a single person who knew him could say a bad thing about him. He was on friendly terms with nearly everyone, regardless of which clique they fell into.

He learned to play music from an early age, and was able to pick up how to play them fairly easily, with a bit of instruction from his father. Throughout high school, he played in a number of bands on a number of different instruments. Though he's skilled in quite a few instuments, he leans toward guitar and bass.

After high school, he went on to complete two years of college, but is currently taking some time off to work in his father's music store and work on his music.

TF notes: No inanimate and no mental rewrites, please.

[Jacqueline]

And two more great characters.

Note:
After further deliberations with my muse I have come to the conclusion that I require a limited group of players. Therefore, sign-up will close once I have seven players. That means I'll accept three more players. Essentially first come first serve, though I reserve the right to make selections based on perceived quality of the character if I receive more than seven applications. The four that have applied so far can consider themselves 'in.'

[Kumi-chan]

If you can save this spot for me Louise.

[Nosnits]

Name: Norman Winters
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Personality: He's a quiet, well mannered teenager. He keeps to himself mostly, only talking to his small groups of friends. Girls are a big no-no...he just can never seem to muster up the ability to talk to them without his tongue rolling up in protest, and his brain shutting down for the day.
Brief history: Andrew was always a model student in school. He never acted out, he never got into fights, he never stink-bombed the principals office. However, he also never went on a date, never had a first kiss, nor ever made that many friends in school. Now, as his schooling comes to a close, he's already applied and been accepted to the university of his choice with full scholarships.. After school, he works at the local library, which drastically cuts down on his social life.
TF notes: Well...I'd like not to be dead, and stuck in a coffin. Other then that...you are free to operate^^

[Marky]

I relinquish the final spot to Kumi, mainly cause she asked for it first and I highly doubt I'll be able to come up with a character anytime soon.

[Alissa of Someday]

Hmmm...Well, by my count, that seems to be seven if Kumi gets a spot, but I'll enter just in case.

Name: Hal Marrison
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Personality: Though fairly easy going, Hal can be a bit cocky--the chip on his shoulder is not immovable, but, as his life has been a fairly easy one, he has come to view himself as a somewhat exceptional person, and will occasionally, intentional or no, draw comparisons between others and himself. Thanks to his work he has also become somewhat familiar (though not an expert on) cars...but has a tendency to pretend he knows rather a lot on the subject, and will say his ideas of how they work as though it was actual fact.
Brief history: If one was to call Hal a prodigy, they would probably be a bit off the mark--he is not a genius by most definitions of the term, and he hardly blew anyone's mind while making his way through his years of compulsory education, but he has a certain knack about him--he probably couldn't write prose worth more then the paper and ink used for it, he couldn't remember any of the German that he supposedly was learning in high school even if at gunpoint, and his aptitude for sports is practically nil...but bizarrely, designs seem to flow from his mind without effort--designs both efficient and attractive. His sketchings were only an amusement at first, but eventually he found himself pulled into a car company, a file of his snatched from the internet and traced back to him.
Having slipped into the job right after high school, Hal is doing fairly well for himself--his designs, though not giving him personally a lot of credit or fame, are earning him enough to live fairly comfortably...though there are those at the company that have expressed concerns that his attempts are becoming somewhat redundant as he continues to produce ideas for them.
TF notes: Pregnancy, AR below the age where my character can say, walk, and most forms of inanimate transformations are notsomuch my cup of tea, as it were.

[Jacqueline]

Seems my calculations were off in my last post. 3 + 5 = 8, so I'll be accepting eight players. Those who have claimed a spot but not yet posted a character, you have until Friday evening, as I hope to start the game on Saturday. If you haven't posted a character by then, I shall pick one of those who have. (Please just edit your post claiming the spot, instead of making a new one. )

[Zoey]

It's a long shot, but I'll try to be #8

Name: Lloyd Lenovo
Age: 28
Gender: Male

Personality: Lloyd's a pretty calm guy when he isnt watching anything involving, explosions, action, wrestling, explosions, woman and explosions. He's your average Joe that just wants to have a pieceful life. Though he soo wishes he could get lai- ... find a girlfiend. So he's very kind towards woman, unless their bastards like his boss.

Brief history: Lloyd works in customer service in a computer software company. He originally wanted to become a pilot and even managed to become one, but no airlines were hiring. Without no job, he had to make due with that he could find which ment having to resort to the yellow pages and eventually ended up in his current job. He lives in a small appartment as has a pet cat called Skittles, cause the cat cant get enough of that candy. Luckly his landlord doesnt give him troubles unlike the neighbors on the top floor when its football night and it feels like the roof is about to collapse.

TF notes: I'd like to stay in around the ages I can still drive a car and no hybrids.

[Kumi-chan]

Name: Keith Kollains. Goes by Kat as a nick name.
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Personality: Laid back type of person. Normally goes with the flow of things. But still is a leader and will take charge in a panic situation.
Brief history: He lives. He will die. He is working at a post office. His life is fairly boring. Just went through life doing what he needed to in order to survive. He works at a post office because his father got him the job. He lives on his own in a house he owns.
TF notes: You know. You just know.
